Medizinische FakultätOpen OpportunitiesThe key energy substrates of the brain are glucose and oxygen. Both are delivered to the brain via an intricate
network of blood vessels. Recently, novel datasets resolving the entire vasculature of the mouse brain became
available, which offer unique opportunities to study the brain’s energy supply. This requires developing and
applying novel numerical methods to simulate blood flow and nutrient transport in large microvascular networks
and the surrounding tissue. Besides looking at the healthy brain we are interested in pathologies like stroke and
Alzheimer’s disease. - Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
